I remember the first "pianola" I received as a Christmas gift, a Christmas that was approaching the end of the 70s. How many emotions! Since that time I have never stopped having fun with keyboards. Stimulated since childhood by my idols, pioneers of musical genres rich in effects and sounds, I grew up consuming vinyls by Alice Cooper, David Bowie, Rick Wakeman, Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson, a journey through country, classic rock of AC/DC, power symphonic metal of Helloween and Angra, prog of Dream Theater and Rush, glam of Cinderella and T-Rex up to the present day of modern metal of ReinXeed and Majestica. With a wink to the 60s and 70s Rock'n Roll and Rockabilly, I got excited playing in a tribute band to the immortal Elvis (Aaron Memphis). Then came the unforgettable day when my great friend Steve asked me to join Perpetual Fire. Aware of the hard work that was ahead of me, I accepted the challenge. Years go by and carry memories, together with critical spirit, awareness and need for improvement. For these reasons I am currently attending a Music Academy (La Verdi - Trinity College)... Music must NEVER stop being our life companion, it can only make us better people!
